Strong extraneous light entering viewing hood Swing up view-finder magnifier, avoid direct light (especially with fluorescent tubes) incidence, close view-finder hood in difficult lighting conditions; if necessary, use other viewfinder attachment

Warnings on viewﬁnder or handgrip display Meter the light before every exposure and went unheeded watch warnings

Photo incorrectly exposed with preflash metering Strong extraneous light Avoid direct incident light; close view-finder hood in difficult lighting conditions; if necessary, use other view-finder attachment
